When I got to the airport in Dublin Kyra came running up to me. I
scoped her up. Bell and Robert walked up to me. "You got yer
ear's pierced?" I said looking at Bell. Her hair was cut short as
well.

"Uh don't let Joe know I let her do it. He'll kill me and never let
me watch them again." Robert said.

"Anything else pierced?" I asked.

"No. You can tell da I'm not going...."

"Bell yer going weather you like it or not. You got her arrangement
there in England?"

"Sure do. One of the finest all girls school and strictest I might
add." We went to eat and then he took Isabel back to England. He had
it set up to where it would be close to him. I went home finally with
Kyra. Once we got in and I got her settled, Joe called.

"See you made it." He said after I answered the phone.

"Of course. Bell's not happy about the school."

"Don't care if she's happy or not. She's going to disrespect us then
she deserves a little disciple. So how me other babies?"

"Happy but sad at the same time. Misses her da. Melvin upset about
the hotel?"

He laughed. "A little but I'm being picked on again."

I laughed. "Bell got her ears pierced."

"Figures anything else?"

"No."

"Thank god. Miss you already."

"Miss you two. You mad about..."

"Ah no. I would have never allowed it but Paige said it was part of me
present. Love it and as long as it don't ever come in between our
friendships. I'll let you get some sleep. Know you must be tired." He said.

"Love you." We made kissing sounds and hung up. The next few days I
had to sort out the shop. Ended up selling the building since it
took off so well in NY. Bono handed me tickets to his show. It was a
kick ass show especially for their homeland.

After that I had Kyra in a class next to the one Roger asked me to
teach. I loved the concert, so I sort of wore the t-shirt on and off
around the house. I helped out and Kyra picked up sign and I was
more than happy to teach her.

I heard from Joe every other night he'd call ask how things were
going. Was going to teach for a bit but was only helping Roger out.
He had two kids that were hearing impaired so whatever he said I said
to them with my hands.

Around the 12 of October 1999, we were doing something on Samuel Becket and I seen Paige come in the class and wave. I looked at Roger and he waved me on. He had them writing an essay anyway. We went out and hugged. "What are you doing here? You guys back already. Joe said..."

"No, it's just me. I've been sick lately. Can we go for lunch or
something?" Paige said.

"Sure let me get Kyra next store." We got Kyra and went to Bono's
for some lunch.

"The tour hasn't been the same since you left. Everyone's been at
each other's throats. Even Sav and I been fighting. I'm scared to
death to tell him the news I just found out."

We ordered some drinks. "Which is?"

"I thought I had the flu. Missed me period and I'm pregnant."

"Oh my god. Why didn't you tell Sav?"

"We got in a huge fight. I never seen him so mad." She started to
cry. "I'm two weeks along almost three. His divorce is all tied up
in court and he's mad as hell. Say's it will take four years. I love
him and am afraid he'll leave me."

"Oh Paige. He won't leave you. He loves you. Oi've know Richard for
almost 24, 25 some odd years. Oi've never seen him so happy."

"You really think so?" She said drying her tears.

"Know so. How many girls can 'ave a four some and keep an open mind?"

"Not many."

"He'll be thrilled. Trust me." She looked at Kyra.

"He told me about..."

"Don't it wasn't meant to be. My path was always set with Joe." We
ate lunch and talked. I told her to surprise him with the news.

Kyra joined in saying, "Baby." We laughed. She was forming sentences
some and learning sign real good.

"When are they coming home?" I said as we left and walked down the
street.

"Sometime tonight or tomorrow. But Joe's in a bad mood."

"What else is new?" We laughed and I went home. She went home. I put
my keys down by the answering machine as always and the messages
that were on it were gone. Kyra ran through the house. "Joseph are you
home?"

No answer. I shrugged and made dinner. I called Kyra in to eat and by
now she was sitting at the table in a booster seat. I sat down
looking over some papers Roger asked me to grade. I wasn't paying
attention and I thought a bug or something was crunching on my
papers.

I smacked it and it was a hand. "Oww." I looked up and Rick was over
me. "Hey."

"Richard what are you trying to do scare me to death."

"Sorry. Like the glasses they made you look smart."

"Mm. Would you bring me the cordless? Oi 'ave to go over these
papers?"

"Sure." He put the phone next to me and took Kyra out of her chair.
The phone rang just as I was expecting it to.

"Hey guess yer not coming home."

"How'd you guess it was me?" It was Joe like I figured it was.

"Rick's here and yer not. Tell Barbie Oi said hi." I hung up and
went back to work. It rang again and I turned it on. "Oi 'ave papers
to bloody grade Joseph. Unless yer dying Oi don't want a hear it." I
hung up not even given him a chance to say anything. The next time
it rang I let the machine get it.

"This is St. John's calling....." A voice said and I picked up.

"Eullo this is Mrs. Elliott."

"Mrs. Elliott yer daughter Isabel is in the hospital."

"What happened?"

"It appears her and another friend had drugs on the campus."

"Oh god."

"She won't be allowed to return back to school here."

"Well is she going to be ok?"

"We don't know. She was taken to...." I hung up and ran into Joe's
study. I knew he had hospital information in there somewhere. I went
through things tossing papers on the floor. That's when I seen
Barbie's number.

I dialed it and waited. She picked up. "Barbie let me speak to Joe,
now."

"Who's this?" She said.

"Beth you know bloody well who it is."

"Hold on. Joey bear yer fiancée on the phone."

"What? I'm busy so you better be dying." He hissed.

"Our daughter OD." I hung up and went to run out the door. "Rick
will you...." I ran right smack into him.

"No." I just crumbled in his arm and started crying like
crazy. "There's nothing you can do luv."

"How could he lie about Barbie? Sav was right." Rick lifted my chin
up to him.

"He didn't lie. He has a house in the states and maybe she was
thinking he'd come back there so she waited for him. What did she say
when you asked for him?"

"Joe yer fiancée on the phone."

"Exactly. Who where's his ring?"

"Oi do."

"Right. Who loves him no matter what?"

"Me."

"Right. Now about Isy there's nothing you can do. She has to ride
this out. If she's ODed the hospital's not going to be letting her
go anytime soon."

"What am Oi not doing?"

"Honey it's not yer fault." The phone rang and he handed me the
cordless.

When I turned it on Joe yelled in my ear, "What the bloody hell you
mean she ODed?"

"Why are you at Barbie's?"

"I'm not. She's at me house. I really don't give a fuck right now.
What the 'ells going on?"

"Don't order me." I yelled.

"Woman, you better tell me."
